Chariot Resources’ planned A$1.425 million strategic investment from Greatpower has lapsed after regulatory hurdles in China stalled approvals. Despite this setback, Chariot continues to engage multiple potential offtake partners for its Nigerian lithium projects, advancing site visits and technical work without firm agreements yet.

Perpetual Resources has kicked off a maiden field program at its Paraíba Tungsten Project in Brazil, aiming to validate historical tungsten mineralisation and define drill targets in a region known for high-grade tungsten deposits.

Charger Metals has confirmed significant extensions to spodumene mineralisation at its Medcalf project, with drilling pushing lithium-bearing pegmatites to 600-700m depth and along strike. The company anticipates a substantial resource upgrade following assay results due in the coming weeks.

Wildcat Resources (ASX: WC8) has expanded its Bolt Cutter Central lithium discovery footprint beyond 2.3km with multiple high-grade spodumene intercepts, while advancing the Definitive Feasibility Study for its Tabba Tabba Project. The company maintains a strong cash position of A$43.3 million as it prepares for further drilling and development milestones.

Critical Resources has defined a focused 2026 exploration program at its Mavis Lake lithium project while confirming an orogenic gold system in New Zealand and delivering promising early results from its solid-state lithium-ion battery evaluation.

Voltaic Strategic Resources is set to acquire a key exploration licence adjoining its Ti Tree Project in Western Australia, expanding its footprint in the emerging Gascoyne lithium province near Delta Lithium’s resources. This low-cost deal enhances Voltaic’s strategic optionality for lithium and tantalum exploration.

Pursuit Minerals has significantly extended the depth of its lithium brine exploration at the Mito tenement, Rio Grande Sur project, following advanced CSAMT data reprocessing. The company plans a three-hole drilling program to test these high-confidence targets, aiming to expand its resource base beyond the initial 5,000 tpa lithium carbonate production.

Lithium Plus Minerals has appointed mining veteran Andrew Haythorpe as CEO, aiming to accelerate development of its flagship Lei Lithium Project. The move signals a strategic shift as Executive Chairman Dr Bin Guo steps back from daily operations.

Anson Resources has recorded lithium grades of up to 148ppm from drilling fluids at its Mt Fuel-Skyline Geyser well in Utah, supporting a significant upgrade to its Green River Lithium Project resource estimate.

Critical Resources (ASX:CRR) has launched a systematic surface exploration program at the underexplored Corona Pegmatite Field, aiming to expand its Mavis Lake lithium resource in Ontario, Canada. The initiative complements the Gullwing exploration and supports CRR’s vision of developing a multi-deposit lithium district.

Chariot Resources Ltd (ASX: CC9) has independently confirmed the presence of spodumene and pollucite in verification samples from its Fonlo and Iganna lithium projects in Nigeria, reinforcing the interpretation of these sites as lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatite systems and informing upcoming metallurgical and exploration activities.

Fulcrum Lithium Ltd has completed its largest Phase 3 drilling program at the Alkali Flats project in Nevada, confirming extensive lithium mineralisation with multiple thick intersections and assay results pending to further define the resource.
